...perhaps it's a good time to learn about drum maps Nick

I already learned about drum maps. That's why I use 'em, create 'em, and live on 'em with the step sequencer. Thanks for the advice, though.

I downloaded the file and it comes up as a .rar file. Don't know what that is or how to open it.

WinRAR: http://rarlab.com/

Although, I believe that in Windows, you can just right-click and use "Extract Here" without having WinRAR installed (?).

use C++

:-)

or use WinRar... it's been around for a while.

Hey Twisted6s!


This is really good. I enjoyed this and will definitey use it. Good fun and easy. Well done and very nice of you to share it. I hope I can do something for you some day

Sorry, not in to installing any more unknown software on my machine. If someone wants to make it available as a zip file, I'll check it out.

Interesting info about 7-zip. I downloaded and installed it a while ago to unpack a .rar file and it worked great, had a simple basic install, etc. Also noticed it has its own compression format with the extension .7z or something. When installing Rapture I noticed it working with a lot of .7z files and after looking at the Task Manager a 7-zip exe was being run a lot. So it seems that Cakewalk is helping support the company by using it to store data on their install disks.

I would recommend 7-zip for unpacking .rar files. Seems to me though that .rar is the ogg-vorbis of data compression. It may be better, but .zip (and mp3) is so ubiquitous that using something else just pisses people off...

I just use

http://www.filehippo.com/download_tugzip/

covers all bases..thing is altima, with the audio being compressed already there's no saving, bit like other things I use rx2 samples etc. just handy for grouping files in one lot and turning off the compression

the only thing about the "7z" format... i notice a few viruses were doing the rounds ages ago with that extension.

Nick the file is fine, my scanner didn't flag it and it's updated daily.. I don't get you sometimes, there's always some complication about x-y and z . If it was as a zip file, you'd say "oh I'm not downloading" because of blah blah

No problem Marius, make that music brother
